Description

The Raspberry Pi 5 features two four-lane MIPI connectors, which are essential for connecting camera and display modules. These connectors utilize a compact 22-way, 0.5mm-pitch “mini” FPC format, differing from the older 15-way, 1mm-pitch “standard” connectors found on previous Raspberry Pi models. This official 300mm FPC cable acts as the crucial link, enabling seamless integration of camera modules with your Raspberry Pi 5.

Designed for optimal performance and reliability, this 300mm flexible flat cable offers significant versatility for your projects. Its extended length allows for greater freedom in camera placement, making it perfect for custom enclosures or setups where space is constrained. The high-quality construction ensures durable, long-lasting performance and consistent, high-speed data transfer through the CSI interface. This cable is specifically engineered for camera connections; it is not suitable for displays.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of this Official Raspberry Pi 5 Camera FPC Cable?

This 300mm FPC cable is specifically designed to connect camera modules to the Raspberry Pi 5. It facilitates the necessary high-speed MIPI CSI data transfer from a camera sensor to the Pi 5's processor, enabling imaging and video applications. Its flexible design aids in precise camera positioning within projects.

What type of connector does this FPC cable use, and is it compatible with older Raspberry Pi models?

The cable features a 22-way, 0.5mm-pitch 'mini' FPC connector, which is specific to the Raspberry Pi 5's MIPI ports. It is not directly compatible with older Raspberry Pi models (e.g., Pi 4, Pi 3) that use the larger 15-way, 1mm-pitch 'standard' FPC connectors, without an additional adapter.

How do I correctly install the camera FPC cable on my Raspberry Pi 5?

To install, gently pull up the plastic retaining clip on the Raspberry Pi 5's MIPI CSI connector. Insert the FPC cable with the silver contacts facing the PCB (blue strip away from the socket). Ensure it's fully seated, then carefully push the retaining clip back down to secure the connection. Be gentle to avoid damaging the delicate connector.

Can this camera FPC cable be used for connecting a display module to the Raspberry Pi 5?

No, this cable is exclusively designed for camera module connections. The Raspberry Pi 5's MIPI connectors are polarized for either camera (CSI) or display (DSI) functionality, even though they share the same physical connector type. Using a camera cable for a display, or vice versa, will not work and may cause damage.
